Covering the major topics of evolutionary game theory, Game-Theoretical Models in Biology,
Second Edition presents both abstract and practical mathematical models of real biological …

Selection and random drift determine the probability that novel mutations fixate in a
population. Population structure is known to affect the dynamics of the evolutionary process …

The rate of biological evolution depends on the fixation probability and on the fixation time of
new mutants. Intensive research has focused on identifying population structures that …

Natural selection is usually studied between mutants that differ in reproductive rate, but are
subject to the same population structure. Here we explore how natural selection acts on …

The fixation probability of a single mutant invading a population of residents is among the
most widely-studied quantities in evolutionary dynamics. Amplifiers of natural selection are …

Because of the intrinsic randomness of the evolutionary process, a mutant with a fitness
advantage has some chance to be selected but no certainty. Any experiment that searches …

Populations evolve in spatially heterogeneous environments. While a certain trait might
bring a fitness advantage in some patch of the environment, a different trait might be …

Hypergraphs have been a useful tool for analyzing population dynamics such as opinion
formation and the public goods game occurring in overlap** groups of individuals. In the …

Spatial games provide a simple and elegant mathematical model to study the evolution of
cooperation in networks. In spatial games, individuals reside in vertices, adopt simple …

The fixation probability is the probability that a new mutant introduced in a homogeneous
population eventually takes over the entire population. The fixation probability is a …
